Chapter 33: The Knight, the Queen, and the Pope (II)

E: I'm sorry, my home was disconnected from the Internet last night, and the finished manuscript didn't come up, and today's chapter is more than two days' weight, please understand.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I have to admit that Pope Clement VI was really a good-natured man, even if he saw his luxurious palace looted, most of the art collection collected over the years was lost, other churches and monasteries in the city were looted, and there was an apostate colossus of the cateneking cat in the square in front of the Papal Palace...... The pope was still calm, and there was no angry expression in the slightest.

On the contrary, as soon as Pope Clement VI entered the city, he did not hesitate to recognize Levy's noble status as a "saint" and "paladin", and as #Lord, he sincerely thanked the angels for their great kindness in saving the city, and at the same time donated nearly 10,000 ducats worth of gold coins as a "reward". Then, in spite of the hard-nosed clichés of the Holy See, he gladly accepted Doraemon's "terms of doctrinal reform" and promised to convene a synod to finalize the new doctrines such as the "sanctity of cats."

Finally, he led all the members of the Holy See who could be gathered to take the lead in worshiping the new Colossus of the Lucky Cat in front of the Papal Palace.

-- Seeing that even the Pope was bowing down and praying to the statue of the "Holy Cat" with a devout face, I did not think that this was a heretical suspicion at all. The citizens of Avignon were no longer in doubt, and they fully acknowledged the status of the angels, and began to listen to their new sermons with all their heart.

Well, if this situation continues, with Doraemon's enthusiasm and the cooperation of the Holy See, the Catholic Church in this world may soon have an additional cat worship order with the same name as the Franciscans, Jesuits, Benedictines and other old religious orders, referred to as the cat worship society or the cat slave society (laughs)

Seeing that this pope was so upright, Wang Qiu, Li Wei, Doraemon and others, who were still a little worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - if the pope was also the kind of granite head who insisted on denouncing the devil after seeing the "angel" with his own eyes, they would be in great trouble, and even had to use magic props to brainwash the poor pope...... No one knows what kind of sequelae this will cause.

Then, after a harmonious secret meeting with Levi and Ji Qì Cat and others, Pope Clement VI publicly announced a surprising decision: since the holy city of Avignon has been saved, but more kingdoms and cities are still in the shadow of the great plague, as the supreme leader of Christianity, he will lead the papal guard to follow the "angels" out to escort the Queen of Naples back to the throne, and make a tour of all parts of Italy, including the Eternal City of Rome. Save the Italians who are suffering......

To put it simply, Pope Clement VI intended to go into battle himself, saddle up the saddle for these "angels", and at the same time act as a guarantor for them before the Christians of all Europe - although this series of extremely humble deference can be interpreted as having to bow down in the face of absolutely irresistible forces, but in any case, the French pope should be regarded as a very knowledgeable fellow......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

As the day draws to a close, the night is falling, and the city of Avignon is lit up with stars.

Although due to the drastic decline in population, more than two-thirds of the city's houses are completely black and unpopulated. But in the remaining popular buildings, there was finally a rare laughter of recent times, and occasionally a few "meows", which were rare in European cities of this era, "meow" cats that the citizens of Avignon had brought home after donating gold coins or ornaments to the angels (the most worthless and easiest miscellaneous cats that Wang Qiu and Professor Guo had brought from the stray animal rescue station). After eliminating the previous erroneous prejudice against cats, the cute and cute state of these clever little creatures soon aroused the love of the citizens of Avignon, especially women and children, and brought a touch of novelty and fun to their boring life, somewhat diluting the sadness and despair of those dark days before them......

It must be pointed out that there is a scientific basis for the fact that so many people of different cultures and skin colors in all countries around the world have the same widespread and universal love for cats - simply put, it is the instinct of all humans to be kind to babies, and this instinct is cleverly exploited by cats.

-- Humans and mammals in infancy have similar physical characteristics: a large head-to-body ratio (about 1:B for infants, 1:B for adults), round and large eyes, stubby limbs, and soft skin or fluff -- in short, the word "short, round, soft and warm". Over 100 million years of evolution, young mammals have been given these cute traits, mainly to be caressed by their mothers and, possibly, fed by other females when they lose their mothers, thus giving them a greater chance of survival. These traits become less and less pronounced as they age, but in cats, even adult cats still have the characteristics of being "short, round, soft and warm". The disobedient little thing of the cats relies on this very deceptive and cute appearance to get a lot of caresses and patting and feeding from ignorant earthlings.

Therefore, in the history of human beings living together with cats, loving cats is the truth and nature, and abusing cats is heresy and reactionary

In short, humans domesticated and bred other beasts because they had milk, meat, hair, or labor to serve. But the cats, who did not contribute a mouthful of food and a trace of strength in the human life, also used all kinds of cuteness as bait, under the banner of exterminating mice, and successfully infiltrated into human society, and also had countless cat slaves who loved cats and became obsessed...... Hey, who domesticated whom?

Of course, the little things that can be pleasing to people brought by the time-travelers are not just these cats who make a living by selling cuteness.

In the aristocratic ghetto not far from the Papal Palace, in the makeshift apartment of the Queen of Naples and the Countess of Provence, Queen Giovanna, who had just had dinner, watched boredly as the maid teased the cat with a dog's tail, while looking at a box of powder from modern society by candlelight.

In Queen Giovanna's eyes, the box was neither made of wood, nor metallic, nor stone-polished, nor spliced out of shells, but seemed to be made of a material she had never heard of, but no matter what, the appearance of the box was indeed amazingly smooth and delicate, and it felt good to the touch, and it also shone with a faint fluorescence. The whole pale pink oval locket is very delicately made, and the upper and lower sides of the box are also carved with delicate roses, and inlaid with many colored broken glass, which makes people love to look at it. And after gently opening the oval locket, there is a fragrant smell coming to the nose, as if it is the smell of some kind of flower, which is very pleasing to women.

Inside this oval compact box is a small mirror that is also oval-shaped, incredibly bright and clear, with a groove underneath that holds a stucco inside. There is also an oval-shaped powder - with the vision and experience of Queen Giovanna, not to mention the mirror that is enough to ⊥ a woman crazy, even this powder is a rare and high-quality product, and any lady will definitely regard it as a treasure.

After a moment of playful play, Queen Giovanna reluctantly put down the oval powder box and picked up another bottle of perfume, also from the modern world—a pale pink glass vial, shaped like a delicate bud waiting to be released, with a smooth and transparent wall that could not see a single porone. When you hold it in your hand, you can clearly see the brightly colored perfume swaying in the bottle. Just looking at the appearance, it is a perfect handicraft. If you hold it in the palm of your hand and gently pull out the cork in the shape of a stamen, an extremely rich and sweet floral fragrance will spread from the palm of your hand and linger for a long time.

Both of these items were gifts from Knight Levi when he visited, along with a number of colorful silk handkerchiefs and scarves. Because of a woman's love of beauty, such a beautiful powder box that had never been seen before, such a delicate and fragrant wonderful perfume, and silk fabrics with craftsmanship far beyond this era, naturally made Queen Giovanna fall in love with it, and she had certain crimson fantasies about the Knight of Levi, who gave her these things—this was not a scandalous thing in the aristocratic circles of medieval Europe, where extramarital affairs were prevalent.

“…… I can't imagine that in the wild and exotic land of the northern Alps, such an adventure can be encountered, it is really blessed by God...... Shouldn't these good things be an angel's gift, uh-huh, it's decided, I must charm that knight and dig up all the good things that are left in his hand."

Stroking the modern cosmetics and splendid satins in her hand, Queen Giovanna began to think like a young girl: did she boldly take the initiative tonight, sending her maid to invite Knight Levi over for a hot tryst? Or do you take it one step at a time, slowly cultivating a relationship during the journey to Naples? Well, it seems that it is better to be a little more reserved and take your time, after all, it is a paladin blessed by angels......

Wait a minute? Something doesn't seem quite right? Wild and exotic? How did the Italians look at the Western European powers north of the Alps like this?

…… Belch...... How so? In the Renaissance era, the Italians did claim to be civilized, looking down on Europe beyond the Alps with the same eyes as barbarians, or at least as urban bigwigs look at the country buns.

And realistically speaking, at least in this century, they do have the qualifications and strength to look at people with their nostrils.

Because the Italians are now in their most beautiful and arrogant golden years after the collapse of the Roman Empire.

-- Although in the modern history of the West, which is more familiar to Chinese, the Italians, who once created the ancient Roman Empire, seem to have been very mixed up since the collapse of Rome, and have been abused back and forth by various powers, and even the African black uncle cannot be defeated. Especially in the interwar period, the Italian "pasta" on the street was almost a joke. That's why there are all kinds of exaggerated and hilarious jokes in the "Hetalia" comics.

But if you go back to the Renaissance, these lovely Italians actually had a glorious era of dominance and spirit.

After the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the main theme of this world was the exploration, conquest and domination of the earth by Europeans. Then in the Renaissance before the Age of Discovery, the main theme of the entire Western Christian world was that the Italians led Europe

In the Renaissance era in Europe, the once great and powerful Eastern Roman Empire had long since collapsed and disappeared, leaving only a small and decaying state with Constantinople as the core still surviving. The Holy Roman Empire, founded by the Germanic peoples, had been shattered by endless divisions. But the Italians, who inherited the legacy of ancient Roman civilization, began to pick up the lost treasures of civilization again from the late Middle Ages, sounding the horn of the Renaissance in the dark fog of the Middle Ages, illuminating the way to modern civilization.

Renaissance Italy was a bit like ancient Greece with its city-states in the Golden Age, and a bit like a miniature version of modern Europe – a small land that amassed enormous wealth, a strong army, advanced science and technology, and Enlightenment ideas, as well as great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The banks, academies of science, standing armies, schools, diplomatic legations, joint-stock companies, overseas trade, and colonial models that modern Europeans are proud of almost all originated on the Italian peninsula.

Although the Italian city-states at that time were small in size and small in population, their financial revenues were incredibly far superior to those of Britain and France, and the entire Mediterranean world became their own sphere of influence and colonies, almost like an early version of the European colonization of the world. Militarily, Milan's elite 6th Army has long been known in Europe for its bravery and skillful warfare, and Venice's Armada has suppressed the entire Mediterranean.

In short, the "spaghetti" at that time was really not "noodles" at all. When other European countries saw these prosperous and powerful Italian city-states, it was almost like the modern countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America saw "the best civilized men of Europe" - fear, jealousy, and envy.

Specifically, Venice and Venetian, which have been fighting for sea power for hundreds of years, are like Britain and Spain in the future. Milan, lacking a seaport and a strong 6th Army, was much like Germany in the future, because the whole Mediterranean had been almost divided, in order to seize their own colonies and maritime spheres of influence, the Milanese had been trying to annex them, and for a time they succeeded. Naples and Sicily, in southern Italy, were somewhat similar to what would become Spain and Austria-Hungary – although they were already in decline, they were still part of the inner circle of civilization.

As for the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France across the Alps, in the eyes of the Italian city-states of the Renaissance, they were a bit like the Soviet Union in the eyes of the Europeans - barbaric, backward and huge. While in awe of their army, he could not help but despise their vulgarity.

In short, according to the European politicians of the time, if these Italian city-states of the Renaissance could be effectively united, just as the Roman Republic of BC gradually integrated the many city-states and tribes of Italy, then a new Western empire would be born again

However, like the ancient Greece of the past, Renaissance Italy still failed to take the crucial step from city-state to empire. Although many splendid Italian city-states often joined hands to fight against foreign invasions, they also sought their own hegemony and wanted to restore the glory of the great Rome of the past. Thus, the descendants of these Romans have spent their blood on the slaughter of brothers from generation to generation, and countless great heroes have gone to the battlefield with dreams and destroyed their dreams on the battlefield - Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, Genoya...... In Italy's millennia of civil and foreign wars, cities rose and fell, but no one was able to emerge as a true victor.

Just as the global colonial hegemony of Europe, due to the delay in the reunification of the whole of Europe, it was finally bloodshed because of the two world wars, and the entire colonial system became unsustainable and collapsed rapidly. Frequent melee battles between Italian city-states ultimately failed to create a unified Italian kingdom, but was invaded by France, Spain, Austria, and even Turkey, leading to the dismal end of the whole of Italy being economically bankrupt, politically weakened, and militarily reduced to a laughing stock (like the modern European Union?). The innumerable trading colonies that once dotted the Black Sea and the Mediterranean were either rebelled for independence or were taken away by Spain and Turkey - so much so that the vague idea of "united Italy" was spurred. For example, the famous political theorist Machiavelli said that his greatest wish was to assist a master to unify Italy, and only a unified Italy could compete with the European powers.

And a "League of Nations" that encompassed most of Italy was indeed established at one time - first led by the leader of the Florentine Republic, Lorenzo Medici, to form the rudiments of the Northern Italian Union, and clearly stated that peace in Northern Italy must be based on the balance of power among the states (like the core idea of the European Union?). ）。 After Lorenzo's death, this balance of power collapsed and led to a major invasion by King Charles VIII of France. However, the Venetians regained their alliance and succeeded in destroying the invading French army.

The European Community and the European Union were also born during the Cold War in order to be able to form a large enough body to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, it was precisely because of the advanced, rich and brilliant Italian city-states that the European countries, which had not yet broken free from the obscurity of the Middle Ages, were generally worried about the birth of a new powerful power, and did not want to see the resurrection of another Roman Empire, so they always tried their best to obstruct the unification of Italy. It only lasted for a short time, and it was disintegrated under internal and external difficulties.

In the following history, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, the prosperity of Western European countries, the Italian city-state, as the forerunner of the times, could no longer maintain its advanced nature and was gradually abandoned by the times. The repeated invasions of Italy by France, Austria and Spain completely ruined the little vitality that the Italians had accumulated from the Renaissance era. In modern times, the Italian peninsula, which was scattered and declining, was completely reduced to a hunting ground and colony for Napoleon and the Austrians. By the time Garibaldi, Italy's modern national hero, finally shouted the slogan of "United Italy" and stopped Italy from just a "geographical term" in the mid-nineteenth century, it was too late......

The historical fate of the Italian city-states seems to give a glimpse into some kind of future prospects for the European Union...... After the end of the Renaissance, the exhausted Italians degenerated into noodles. And what will the exhausted old Europe look like after the end of the era of global colonization? ）

However, while the fate of these Italian city-states will probably be bleak, at least for this century, they undoubtedly occupy the center of the European historical stage. Even the Black Death, which wiped out more than half of the population, could not erase the splendor and unparalleled splendor of these historic cities of medieval Italy...... And, of course, the wealth of these cities, which is one of the largest in Europe......

- Thus, when the impoverished Doraemon arrived, these Italian city-states became the main targets of salivation for the traversers.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Meanwhile, in the study of the Palais des Papes, Pope Clement VI sits in a white plastic chair common to modern urban food stalls, flipping through a beautifully framed book from another era, thanks to a clay oil lamp that has been narrowly lost.

Because this luxurious and elegant Papal Palace has been looted by the "angels" when the owner left. So when the Pope returned, the slightly embarrassed traversers presented him with a few sets of cheap plastic and stainless steel furniture, so that the Pope would not suffer from sitting on the stairs and sleeping on the floor in his mansion - no way, who told the Pope that the furniture was too high-end, and I would be sorry not to pawn it for money

Fortunately, Pope Clement VI didn't seem to care much about this. After receiving the plague vaccine from the "Holy Seal" and secretly reaching a cooperation agreement with the "Angels" and "Paladin Levi", he carefully flipped through the books presented by the travelers - in addition to the colorful pictorial pamphlets, there was also the "New Ten Commandments" that Doraemon had concocted in order to change history, which was roughly as follows:

1. Cats are sacred animals that cannot be slandered and slandered, and human beings should love cats as they love their Lords, and at the same time repent of their sins of abusing and killing cats in the past;

2. Rats are evil animals, and the priests should lead the believers to destroy rats by various means, which is also a practice that can please the Lord.

3. Frequent bathing is beneficial for cleansing your body and mind, keeping diseases and disasters away from you. Filth and simplicity are two very different things, and refusing to bathe is by no means a manifestation of simplicity and poverty, and even the poorest ascetics should strive to keep their bodies clean and pure;

4. Wash hands frequently before meals and after using the toilet to avoid illness from entering the mouth;

5. In addition to bathing frequently, we should also be diligent in changing our clothes, for God never likes to see His lambs covered in dirt and greasy and stinking;

6. It is everyone's responsibility to keep the city hygienic, and it is the duty of the clergy to regularly organize the faithful to clean the streets and squares, and not to let them whip themselves;

7. Open defecation and defecation should not be allowed, and at least adequate public toilets should be set up in monasteries and churches, and open to the public as much as possible;

8. The stupidity of smearing feces on the wound must be strictly prohibited, as it will only make the wound of the wounded festering and suppurating, and he will die faster;

9. The cruel and stupid "witch hunt" must be abolished, and the powers of the Inquisition must not be abused;

10. In view of the drastic population decline caused by the Great Plague, and with reference to the biblical measures for the recovery of the population in the special period after the Great Flood, priests and nuns are not required to remain single for a period of time in the future, but are allowed to marry and have children, but must insist on monogamy, and cannot divorce and bigamy.

The above-mentioned reform articles mainly have ten articles, so they are named "New Ten Commandments", also known as "Ten Commandments of the Cat Worship Society", referred to as "Cat Commandments".

In general, the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages was known for its old-fashioned and stubborn thinking. While the church is not without individual open-minded progressives, the decrepit organization as a whole instinctively hates any innovation and change.

So, a different ascetic with a stubborn mind might denounce these things as complete heresy as soon as he saw them, and he would do everything in his power to stop them, even if God stood before him and gave the order, he dared not hear it, just as when Jesus first entered the temple in Jerusalem, he did not listen to the priests' persuasion and smashed the stalls of many merchants in the temple, and if he thought that there should be no such things in the temple, he would do it immediately

However, Pope Clement VI was not an ascetic who was happy to be masochistic, and although he lived in luxury and spent a lot of money on the papal palace, he was also open-minded and rewarded scholarship and the arts...... What's more, he is a very pragmatic person, so after the initial shock, he calmly accepted the "Cat Commandment" conveyed by the angels, publicly took the lead in wearing the cat badge, and even held a white cat to do vespers......

So, in the dead of night, a confidant bishop sneaked in and questioned the Pope why he had turned his back on the ancient ways of righteousness and followed heresies. Pope Clement VI calmly replied:

“…… Heterodox? Who do you say is a heretic? Do you think you are God who accuses angels of heresy? What the? You don't recognize them as angels? What's the use of not admitting it in your heart? In the eyes of the world, they are real angels, and the magic they possess and the things they do are indeed like angels, and if the Holy See opposes them regardless of a single thing, then our Holy See will become a heresy blasphemous

You know, for believers and for God, the Holy See is not irreplaceable, and there are careerists on the Roman side who want to establish a separate Holy See."

“…… What's more, what did these angels do that were so excessive that we need to fight to the death? Took some belongings from the Holy See? Since the great plague came, everyone has long passed today and does not know if there will be tomorrow, and those money are just things outside the body, in exchange for one of their own lives, no matter how you look at it, it is cost-effective. Not to mention that the owners of many things have long since died, and dead people don't need to spend money. I, the one who has been emptied of the palace, has not called out, so what are you yelling about? Aren't you afraid that the angels will be angry and let you get sick and die again?

Then, is it a small matter whether cats are holy or evil, and are they related to the foundation of the church? There is absolutely no mention of cats in the Bible, and no religious rituals are directly related to cats. Allowing cats to be owned does not damage the glory of the church, and organizing the killing of cats is not good for the church, and these angels are not forcing you to have cats, do you suffer from a strange madness that leads to madness when you see a cat if you don't kill them, or secretly believe in some kind of weird cult that worships rats? In that case, I think you should be burned at the stake.

This "New Ten Commandments" is indeed a bit shocking, but if you look closely, it mainly advocates bathing, paying attention to cleanliness, and making those who atone for sins change their asceticism from self-flagellation to street sweeping, and it does not affect the authority of the church - the church never seems to have been established by persuading people to defecate in the open, and I have heard a lot about the absurdities of the Inquisition everywhere over the years, and it is indeed time to take care of it.

As for the fact that the clergy are allowed to marry...... The impact on the church is indeed a bit powerful, but how many of today's bishops and priests do not support women and give birth to illegitimate children? It may also be a good thing to simply take this opportunity to make it public and legalize......"

“…… Finally, and most importantly, why are you so short-sighted and foolish to see only the messenger of the Lord as a threat, but forget what is beneficial to the Holy See? Isn't such an unprecedented miracle and the glory of the angels a testament to the dedication and piety of the Holy See? Why do you think I'm going to Italy with them? The queen of Naples needs to use their power to regain lost territory and restore royal power, so don't we need to use the glory of God to recover Rome and regain control over the Papal States? The Pope rebuked his cronies with hatred.

-- Many modern people know that the Catholic Church in medieval Europe was so powerful that it was so pervasive that even kings and nobles had to bow down to it, and this is basically true. The problem, however, is that many modern people mistakenly equate the power of the medieval Church with the power of the Holy See, and the power of the Holy See with the power of the Pope, and regard the Papal States as the direct domain of the Pope himself.

However, this is not the case, the actual status of the pope in medieval Europe is probably somewhat similar to that of the Japanese emperor, although the name is high, the power in his hands may not be heavy, and the number of bishops and archbishops he can command depends on the luck and skill of each generation of popes.

Generally speaking, many mediocre popes may not even have full control over the city of Rome; The more competent popes could probably barely hold down the Papal States, and perhaps control two or three bishoprics in Italy; A handful of eminent popes could largely intimidate Italy and exert considerable influence over the rest of the region; A handful of well-known popes with an iron fist can command about half of the dioceses in Europe. As for commanding the whole of Europe, and twisting the whole of Christendom into a single rope...... I'm sorry, but no pope in history has been able to do such an exaggerated thing.

There was also the inquisition, which was notorious in the Middle Ages, and it was not something that the pope could fully control, on the contrary, there were popes who were almost caught.

The popes who moved to Avignon in the fourteenth century were unfortunately among the most powerful - they were forced to move the Holy See because they could not control the Roman side and did not dare to go to office alone. Therefore, the control of the successive popes of Avignon over Italy and the Papal States is naturally conceivable, that is, an empty name. Even Avignon, where they lived, did not belong to the Holy See until last year, and such a pope was simply a marionette of the king of France, and even had the sad experience of "not leaving the church door".

Such an aggrieved and powerless situation was obviously not liked by Clement VI. Therefore, shortly after his accession to the throne, in 1344 he sent a crusader fleet to Asia Minor, conquering Izmir and defeating the Ottoman Turkish infidels. At the same time, he also tried to restore the authority of the Pope in Rome, and managed to resolve the disputes of several local wealthy nobles, which finally strengthened the sense of the pope in the European political arena.

But his above-mentioned series of tosses are just a sense of brushing and saving, and they have not even been widely recognized. The Papal States, centered in Rome, were still at odds with the Holy See of Avignon, and were in danger of splitting at any time.

-- It is a sad reality that the Papal States of Italy do not listen to the orders of the Holy See, and may even become enemies of the Pope at any time.

Therefore, when he learned that these winged "angels" and "paladins" Levi actually wanted to enter the secular world to quell the rebellion of the Queen of Naples and restore the country, Clement VI immediately asked for a ride to suppress the opposition of the Papal States with the divine power of the angels.

And after the Pope's heart-to-heart remarks, the cronie suddenly came to his senses, but he was still a little worried, "...... I understand your hard work, but if we are to go on an expedition to Rome and awesome the Italian princes, we may not have enough troops at our disposal, and after enduring the ravages of the plague, your guard is left with only twenty to thirty professional warriors, including only four knights. If the richest and most pious citizens in the city were moved, they might be able to assemble an armed force of two hundred...... Isn't that too much? ”

“…… Enough is enough, we are not going to war. The Italians, who were not infidels, dared to openly wield their swords at the messenger of the Lord? ”

The Pope waved his hand disappreciatively, but frowned again, "...... What worries me really is another problem: this trip to Italy, our people, the Queen's people, and the paladin's people combined, how can we count nearly a thousand people. Carrying so many people and luggage across the sea at one time is not something that can be done at any time. In the current situation of the spread of the plague, I wonder if the port of Marseille can raise enough ships and sailors? Or are you going to go over the Alps and walk 6 ways this time? That's going to be a lot of work......"

In the dim candlelight, Pope Clement VI muttered to himself and touched his chin and fell into deep thought......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In short, the travelers' trip to the Holy City ended on a relatively happy end: the citizens of Avignon were saved, and for at least six months, until the vaccine wore off, they would not have to worry about the Black Death, even though they had almost died before. The cat has raised another sum of about 1.5 billion yen worth of property - although there is still no hope of the principal of the loan, at least the interest for the next month can be paid.

The Catholic Church pinched its nose and accepted a reform that could not be refused, but fortunately it did not seem to be much damage to the Holy See itself.

Queen Giovanna and Pope Clement VI saw hope of using the opportunity to break the enemy and restore power to power, and the price they could afford.

Then, on the "Book of Traveling" in Wang Qiu's hand, there were golden characters that showed rewards in the row:

“…… Fight the Black Death in Avignon and earn 6o bonus points......"

“…… Initially reversed the discrimination and prejudice against cats in medieval Europe, and obtained 6o reward points......"

“…… Corrected the fatal fallacy of Medieval European medicine and gained 26 bonus points......"

“…… Promoted the Reformation in advance on a certain course dù to make it more suitable for social progress, earning 26 reward points ......"

“…… So far, you have accumulated 186o reward points, so please keep up the good work......"

Finally, on the day of the pull-out, when everyone packed their luggage and prepared to go to Italy, Wang Qiu realized that this time they really took the unusual path - Doraemon had already erected a [random door] in front of the Papal Palace, and he could walk from Avignon to Naples with one foot

“…… This one...... Doraemon, didn't you say that in a different world without terrain information, the [random door] can't be used? Why is it working now? Seeing that the medieval Europeans were stunned and couldn't accept this, Wang Qiu quietly pulled the machine and asked.

“…… Because this world is not set up according to an alternate plot, it is a completely different thing from the real earth, but the historical time and space of medieval Europe, I just need to go to the time and space authority of the 22nd century and spend money to enter the information for the [random door], and I can use it. Of course, this fee is really expensive, and I am reluctant to be so extravagant if it is not very necessary. The cat replied.

“…… So why didn't we use it on our previous journey from Marseille to Avignon? Ma Tong also leaned over and interjected and asked.

“…… Because we still have to collect money along the way? Otherwise, where did the money come from to enter medieval information materials for [random door]? I just got it right. Doraemon rolled his eyes, "...... Okay, it's not too early, let's get out."

Well. Either way, it's always good to be able to make travel a little easier...... And so they set off.

Then, the next moment they stepped through the [Random Door], everyone seemed to be ...... One foot into the realm of death that belongs to the undead
